“Allen Adon did an incredible job on our wedding invitations and the rest of our paper materials. He is a real artist and a really nice guy. We wanted invitations that really reflected our wedding–whimsical, beautiful, and unique. We were also working on a real budget. Allen could not have been nicer or more enthusiastic. He took our ideas and made them a 1000 times better, and was also very accommodating about tweaks that we wanted. We loved working with him and could not recommend him more highly.”– From WeddingWire.com
